Our Christmas Tree - we love our new baubles
Our first official day of school holidays passed quietly and slowly. The bulk of our Christmas shopping was done over the weekend, with plans for the final purchases to be made tomorrow. Our Christmas menus have been assembled in consultation with everyone in the family. Presents are wrapped and under the tree.
I am quietly appalled at what I did not achieve today. Every time I sit down I end up sleeping for a few hours and today was no different. My wonderful children are becoming very good at quietly going off to other corners of the house while I lay claim to the family room. This morning Mr Busy followed my lead and claimed the other couch for a long morning nap.
This afternoon I was completely enthralled by the discovery of a birds nest in our apple trees. When I looked closely a little mother bird was sitting there quietly. I guess she was sitting on eggs because she didn't budge even a feather until Miss Sunshine got too close in her efforts to take a photo. At that point I directed my over-zealous kids away so that mummy bird could tend her nest in peace.
Tomorrow I need to begin on my cleaning list. Before I succumb to a nap.

Lovely post! I'm glad you're getting some rest, though like you, I often find myself "quietly appalled" by what I haven't done by the end of the day.
I haven't forgotten about sending you some double acting baking powder, by the way! I'll get some in the mail after the holidays.
